Any other horror games you guys play?

I've played a lot, but I've always been a fan of the first 3 Resident Evil games. The only Silent Hill game I've gotten a chance to play was Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. A little disappointing, but I liked it. That was the first survival horror I've played where you're defenseless, but I was hoping it would be much more tense and suspenseful like Amnesia and any of the Penumbra games, but still a good game.

I really want to play Silent Hill 1&2 though, I know those would probably be better as far as being scary.

It involves lots of melee fighting as guns/bullets are extremely rare. You fight mostly with pipes and axes, etc, and have to time your blocks & swings right which could be quite a challenge.

I agree, I thought Condemned 2 was also pretty good. Not as good as the first, but it was worth it for a part later in the game alone IMO.

I'll just post a video of the part, but it's certainly a spoiler:

Amnesia was the first horror game I've ever played. I would like to try the early RE and SH games, since I was too broke to get them when they first came out. Sadly, many horror games are shooters of one kind or another, which is something that I never cared much for.

I actualy got into Amnesia becuase I was fed up with Hollywood's piiddling attempts to produces a good horror movie. (I LOVE a good horror movie, but all they seem to do now is either go for gore-porn, or have a a wearily predictable plot where I can tell you in the first few minutes whio will live, who will die, who gets the girl, etc...) So when I read in Game Informer about Amnesia, I immediately started to look into it.

F.E.A.R. It was a fun play through but not nearly as fun as Amnesia. I bought Penumbra but haven't started yet.

Played most of the ones mentioned in here. So to name a few that don't get much attention:
D on the PS1, and D2 on the Dreamcast, both really far-out horror games.
Cold Fear, a pretty underrated RE4-like horror game. I really loved the cargo ship setting.
Pathologic and The Void, two of the most interesting games I've ever played.
And finally Fatal Frame, spooky-ass Japanese ghost story game.

Certainly has some horror elements, although all the relative scariness dies after about 15 minutes. Some people have different views on horror, I suppose because they aren't yours it makes them wrong?

**Tanshaydar** · 03-31-2011, 06:45 AM

Definitely does NOT include any horror elements.
There is NO intention to scare the player.

Though, if you are calling the fear of death as a horror element, then blops has horror elements too. Especially, after playing Amnesia, calling L4D as a horror game...

Oh, no. I can't take it anymore. Yes, it is even scarier than Amnesia.
